Complaint Review: Regional Finance Corp

My wife received a check in the mail from Regional Finance Corp #570, but at the time she knew nothing of what the check was for or if it was even real. The amount of the check was around 1300.00. My wife did call the phone number that was with the check and she asked if the check was real. She was told by the person on the phone that it was a real check and that she can cash it. My wife asked if this was for a class action suit from B & N that she was part of. My wife was told that it was part of that suit and that the check was hers to cash and keep. She was never told that it was a payday loan. She was able to cash the check she received in the mail, that she did not ask for, at a major bank. The check was legitimate, she did not ask for the money, and it came in the mail.

Since then, Regional Finance Corp. is now suing my wife for 1700.00, for a check that came unsolicited in the mail, and upon calling for information, she was given false information in order to get her to cash the check.
